15-20 KT. THE WAVE HAS A WELL-DEFINED INVERTED-V SIGNATURE IN
VISIBLE IMAGERY WITH A COMPACT CLUSTER OF TSTMS OVER AND S OF
HISPANIOLA. SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS MODERATE CONVECTION FROM
14N-19N BETWEEN 68W-73W. HEAVY RAINS...WITH RATES UP TO 1/2" (13
MM) PER HOUR...HAVE ALREADY BEGUN TO SPREAD OVER THE DOMINICAN
REPUBLIC WITH THE THREAT OF FLASH FLOODING ESPECIALLY IN
MOUNTAINOUS AREAS. THESE TSTMS ARE EXPECTED TO BEGIN SPREADING
OVER HAITI LATER TODAY...AND THEN OVER E CUBA AND THE SRN
BAHAMAS ON THU AS THE DEEP MOISTURE AXIS SHIFTS N BEHIND THE
WAVE.
Definitly it looks better than this morning with possibly a MLC embedded.But it has a hostile enviroment ahead as a trough is located in the western Caribbean.The only way this wave can develop is that the trough moves out of the way.

Visible loop of Caribbean.
Water Vapor pic that shows trough to it's west.Definitly I am not saying with this thread posted that this wave will develop but only I made this thread to point out the better appearence of the wave this afternoon but it's future is very uncertain.
